Dates-n-Mates is Scotland’s national friendship and dating charity run by and for adults with a learning disability, tackling social isolation and loneliness. Our work is underpinned by a Human Rights based approach using the PANEL principles to inform our practice. As a member led organisation, we encourage active involvement from members in planning and decision making. This contributes to ensuring that our members experience the same rights as other people and maximise the opportunities to have meaningful relationships. Through our work we challenge, and support our members to challenge, discrimination. We work hard to promote social inclusion, confidence, and independence through the provision of events in quality establishments where members are visible, their custom is valued and opportunities to make connections, with other members or the wider community is maximised. We deliver a monthly programme of social events and activities in mainstream venues across Scotland.
